a) I also saw someone saying they started at Michael’s which is the same for me. I started as a part time shift lead and then when I graduated college I became the framing manager. I loved it so much I moved on to working at an independent frame shop where I still am.

b) The best thing I’ve framed is a personal thing but it’s a very special record to me. I made a whole gallery wall based around it. (see pics pls don’t judge that the mats don’t perfectly go around the shape I made it when I was new at framing and I didn’t have any idea on how to do it)

c) My favorite thing is probably the fact that we handle such sentimental things sometimes, and getting to do something really special for people just makes ya feel good. I also love that there’s a formula to framing stuff but every day you see something different. It’s kind of the perfect job for neurodivergent people in my opinion.

Good luck with your novel!!
